You can’t just do nothing for four years and then show up just in time for the primaries to pretend like you’re a viable party.
I get what you are saying, but they actually do a LOT of protesting and union help. And have done that long before running for this election. Running for pres def makes them more visible, but they do lots of stuff besides that, and not just every four years.
Now I will say that I agree that they should run for other offices as well. And I hope the publicity and fire they are getting from this election lets them know that there are more and more people who support them and their causes, so that they can concentrate on running for other offices as well.
Having said that, they are not the socialist party that I’m voting for–I’m actually voting for Socialist Working Party’s Rachele Fruit (who’s even less known than De la Cruz!). But I still really like De la Cruz’s spirit and her campaign.
